    I intended to have the App.config file as a sort of config.ini file and have set up many application variables there. However i noticed that the .exe file does'nt complain if the app.config file is not around, so i can only assume that the file is embeddded into the exe file when the solution is built. Is this so or can i update the app.config file for different situations without having to change code? Regards

      An app.config file is not required to run the app. It just sets certain options in your app when it runs, or is used to store values for future use. The file is NOT required to run the code. Also, it's not compiled into the .EXE. It always stands as it's own seperate file.
